SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS
National H9irlooms, About to Fall b

by Blind Women. i1
Two quaint and graceful chairs that 8

are inmates of the Pennsylvania In
dustrial Home for Blind Women. The h,
chairs are preserved in the east room h
of Independence hall, on the second G
floor. Year by year the cane bottoms a]
of the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out. n'
The committee in charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the w
woodwork might soon collapse. But al
they did not dare to let the chairs ax
be taken out of Congress hall. in
So they sent for Miss Ira Frost, mis
tress of handicraft at the Industrial lit
Home for Blind Women, and she ai
brought with her to the room two of er
the blind women who understood chair th

difficult, for it was. impossible to erect do

and, moreover, their woodwork was W
soft with age. But the deft "seeing
fingers" of the blind women did the
work in spite of all the difficulties, and
now the precious William Penn chairs
are safe.

LESSON FOR JUNE 20
PRAYER FOR THE TEMPTED.
LESSON TEXT- Psalm 141.
GOuLl,'N ''lEXT--Keep me frnim lho
szn:tre, whi.1 they have laid fr me.-
l'salmn 141:9.
The style of this psalm closely re
sembles the known psalms of David in
the first part of the psalter. From
its structure and character, it is to
be credited to David. In it are pre
sented complaint, prayer and confi
dent hope of relief. It is a petition for
deliverance from sins to which his af
flictions tempted him, and from the
enemies who caused his affliction.
I. Prayer. "My prayer directed"
(vv. 1, 2). There is good reason for
believing David wrote this while go
ing through the experience recorded
in I Samuel 24. It is evident he is
passing through a time of great stress
and was in dire need of help for he
urges "haste" in giving heed to his
call, (Luke 18:1-8). David looks to
Jehovah as his only and sure helper.
We are told to omit the first word
"unto" in this verse and to read, "I
have called thee." Every human help
had failed and faith fearlessly turns to
God. Can God be urged? Surely we
are taught that God respects his
"remembrancers" who cry "day and
night" (Psalm 40:13; 69:17, 18; 70:5;
71:12; 143:7). To fold the hands
weakly and to "bide his time" is usu
ally an evidence of spiritual debility
and of a desire to shirk the work
involved in a true exercise of prayer.
True faith knows but one way of de
liverance, that of prayer (Phil. 4:6, 7), Al
and those who call in faith get deliv
erance (Rom. 10:13). Such prayer, Ai
the fruit of heart and lips, is before
God "as incense" and its effectiveness
does not depend upon its being pre
sented in the tabernacle--it is a "sac
rifice" of praise well-pleasing to God.
We are to pray to God through his Va
Son and in the Holy Spirit. Such re
prayer is set forth before him as a on,
sacrifice of sweet smelling savor. Ith
II. Practice. "Incline not my heart 1-,
to practice wicked works" the
(v . Such prayer as here suggested lna
demands a preparation of purity. As for
the "incense" was prepared with _,
great care (Ex. 30:36) and its fr- 
gance was brought out by ary (e&. '
8:26, 1; Blph. 6:18), so likewise there Spi
must be a continual practice of prayer the
and an absence of "wicked works." his

The tongue can no man tame (James in,
3:8), yet God is able and his way is
to cleanse the fountain To have
the mouth filled first with prayer and
praise and then with evil is contrary
to reason and to God's commands.
David recognized that the heart is the
source of "wicked works," and prayed
that he be not even "inclined" to
them (Matt. 6:13; Jam. 1:13). If he '"

plead for it. David not only welcomed rei
wisdom but (see R. V.) promises to
pray for such friends when calamities sk
come upon them and in the time when th
they are overcome by wickedness. mi
When such are cast down by the rocky ne
roadside "they shall hear my words,"
says David, and they will be sweet. bc
The psalmist's experience, when hunt- re
ed as a partridge, taught him how to fo
appreciate the petitions of Jonathan, C

(see Am. R. V.). Death stared him

IV. Protection. "In thee do I put my
trust" (R. V.). Though thus brought a
low David knew where to turn, and c
U one to whom he could look. The t
church of Christ needs to look to
God, to become like him. It needs the
e transforming, encouraging, energizing
0 vision. David is now taking his eyes
t off the difficulties and fixing them on
